A Moment In June

Movie

**************************************************************************

This movie consist of three different love story that somehow links together.

It started with Pakorn (Chakrit) and Phon (Napasakorn) arguing about their relationship. Phon is leaving for a trip and Pakorn asked him when he’s going to return. He said he doesn’t know for what reason he should return. They started to argue about their lack of time together or the lack of understanding. Pakorn then told him that if he does decide to return and he’s not there to pick him up, then Phon should understand.

Pakorn started to mess around with another guy but he found that he can not get over Phon.

The second love story is an older couple, Arunya who is a writer and Krung the owner of an amusement park and Pakorn’s father. They met many years ago and had a short relationship. Arunya disappeared on Krung and they met again.

Arunya and Phon met on the train and they exchanged stories.

The third love story is actually a play that Phakorn directed but written by Arunya. 4 people, 2 couples. The couple that betrayed and got involved played by Noon Boonyasak and Chris some how started to like each other when Noon’s fiance went back to Japan. They crossed the line and had an affair with one another.

In the end, Arunya advised Phon not to run away from the problem and don’t allow it to pass on with time without trying to find a solution just like in the story that she wrote. Could it be the story of her pass that coincidently get directed by the son of her ex lover? It is.

Pakorn asked his father why he did not go meet her and left her to waited? He asked what if she waited a while longer, would he had gone? His father did not answer but instead tell him to not be late because he may be a second too late and the one he love may not wait.

In my own words:

Well what can I say? Nothing surprises me about Chakrit anymore. The guy is a true actor. There’s not a role that he can not or dare not do! Not to mention his acting is really superb. I mean how can I not adore this guy. Sure my opinion may be biase but can you name a Thai guy who would dare to take such a challenge and does it well? I mean you can say he may secretly be gay all you want, I don’t believe that though. Is Heath Ledger gay? No, he’s an actor. You can talk about ego and pride all you want with other actors, but as an actor, you act and you have to do it very well. Chakrit takes his acting seriously. People often say he exagerates and it doesn’t look natural. Well that’s an opinion. I think he acts very well which is why he recieves many oppurtunities. I applaud Chakrit and Napasakorn for daring to play this role and play it well in a culture that in reality still can not accept a homosexual relationship.

As for the story, it’s quite confusing and touching at the same time. You struggle to keep up with each story, to remember which one was scripted and which was real. You feel for the couple that love each other but can not understand one another or stop it from drifting a part. You also sympathize with the relationship forbidden that end with forever longing. How can one forgive something that you yourself help create that hurt others even though that was not your intention? You can’t.  You can’t help but ache along with a story that probably reflects reality. Last but not least, you can not help but weep with regrets.

My ratings: 4/5

note: if anyone know who sang the ending ost, please let me know!
